Guild Wars 2

After about 10 tries I succeeded in completing the defend the gates section and subsequently managed to finish the quest without any further issues by

NOT SKIPPING THE CINEMATIC with Trahearne!

so unless something was reset/changed it seems that skipping the cutscene might cause issues. maybe they can look into that?

interestingly enough I also chose the death of the innocents path (where you pull friendly fire with the mortars) could this be a factor?

Same problem.

Quest: Defend Fort Trinity
Step: Defend the gates
Class: Thief
Faction: Order of Whispers

I have done this quest before on both my Guardian and Ranger and did not have this problem on either of them.

After you go to the logging camp and kill the risen, a wave of attackers should spawn and head straight for the gates, shortly followed by the giants
(I know because on my other chars I used to race them to the gates)

This wave simply does not spawn! I killed all the mobs at the logging camp but the attacking wave does not spawn.

Some random smaller packs spawn but killing these does NOT progress the event.

I tried relogging, restarting the game, bringing a friend. Nothing helps.
